Winter...


It's the 1st of February. It's snowy and icy and cold. I guess that's why they put Valentine's Day in February- because it gives you yet another reason to snuggle with someone ;). 
Once Christmas is over (and it flew by this year, we barely had time to enjoy it; it seems like the tree came down just as soon as it went up, but I digress...) there's just no need for ice and snow, anymore. You can't enjoy it; there's no time off from work, no holiday visits from friends and family, you have nothing to enjoy...instead, you worry and hope your husband gets home safely and with Jeff's job, hope he is safe from harm while AT work, because this cold weather and ice makes working conditions very difficult for him.

But it's great for pictures! ;) 

There's tons to photograph and if I had someone to sit with the boys I'd lace up my gym shoes and go hunting for great photo ops! I'd love to get a great shot of a bird like Architect and Photographer Rod Sidley who gave Dr. Kinlaw a great photo of a blue jay snatching a red berry as giant snowflakes fall! "Quiet Flight" is what I named it. He took 200 photos before he captured that shot. 

Anyway, with digital photography it's easy because you're not wasting film, you can just delete bad photos. I am saving up for a normal lens, one that doesn't change focal lengths. It blurs the backgrounds and make portraits clear and crisp. So, as much as I take photos of my boys- it'll be a great investment!! :)
